About once a week I wig out and listen to Elegantly Wasted and remember the night I spent with Michael and the band at the 4 seasons in Toronto Canada. We had a great time that sept 97' night . We allowed the band to cross the street on the way to try and meet David Bowie who was signing at a local radio station. Turns out we stop the car let the band cross and meet them in the bar of the hotel. I stick my head out the window and say “Hey see you in the bar” Michael replies “Thanks mate see you there” We had tix for the show that night and sat with the band at the bar. Michael was first to appear around 7pm and then followed by Kirk and Tim. We had one great time B4 the show and Michael ordered Sake then a vodka Gimlet. We all had Corona and lots to laugh about. After the show we met back and at the door the manager of the hotel ask me who invited me. My reply Michael of course. He checked with Michael and the manager returned apologetic and bought our drinks for us. Gary came to us at one point during the eve. we had girls all around us and said “ are you guys in the band” what a laugh. These guys were great and I had a one on one with Michael for a better part of the night. That guys touched my heart and talked to me for long periods of time not caring about who was in that room. He didn't have to and when I said that I may be taking too much of his time he said He loved the conversation with someone well versed in his lyrics and writing. I miss him everyday. Darren Dempsey
